Delivery

4.1 We aim to deliver products to you at the place of delivery (“Delivery”) requested by you within the time indicated by us at the time of your Order, but we can’t absolutely guarantee firm Delivery dates or times. Delivery options are set out here and here although such information is indicative only.

4.2 We will try to let you know if we expect to be unable to meet our estimated Delivery date or time, but, to the extent permitted by law, we will not be liable to you for any losses, liabilities, costs, damages, charges or expenses arising out of late or delayed Delivery.

4.3 We will aim to leave the Order at the address advised by you at the time of purchase. You must ensure that you are able to take Delivery of the product without undue delay and at any time reasonably specified by us. Our delivery partners may contact you via SMS prior to delivery to provide you with different delivery options, including giving ‘authority to leave’ the item at the address, or have delivery re-routed to a collection point. Alternatively, the courier may leave a card requesting your instructions on either re-delivery or collection from the carrier or a collection point.

4.4 By default, you provide authority to leave items at the address specified in your Order. If the delivery driver deems the area unsafe in their discretion, your Order will be redirected to a collection point, redelivered in the next Delivery run (where available) or returned back to our Fulfilment Centre. If Delivery or collection is delayed through your unreasonable refusal to accept Delivery or if you do not (within two weeks of our first attempt to deliver the product to you) accept Delivery or collect the product from the carrier, then we may (without affecting any other right or remedy available to us) do either or both of the following:

(a) charge you for our reasonable storage fees and other costs reasonably incurred by us; or

(b) no longer make the product available for Delivery or collection and notify you that we are cancelling the applicable Contract, in which case we will refund to you any money paid to us in accordance with our returns policy, less our reasonable administration charges (including for attempting to deliver and then returning the product, and any storage fees and other costs provided for above).

4.5 Please note that it might not be possible for us to deliver to some locations, nor are we able to offer equivalent delivery options to locations that we do service. If we are unable to deliver to your location, we will inform you on the relevant product page, or alternatively use the contact details that you provide to us when you make your Order and arrange for cancellation of the Order or delivery to an alternative delivery address.

4.6 Unless otherwise specified by you, all risk in the product shall pass to you upon Delivery. If Delivery is delayed, risk shall pass at the date when delivery would have occurred. From the time when risk passes to you, we will not be liable for loss or destruction of the product.

4.7 You must take care when opening the product so as not to damage it, particularly when using any sharp instruments.

Cancellation

5.1 We may terminate a Contract if the product is not available for any reason. We will notify you if this is the case and return any payment that you have made. We will refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for the product. If the refund transaction fails we will advise you of this and make arrangements to process the refund via a different method.

5.2 If you wish to cancel your Order, please contact our Customer Service Team. Once an Order has been processed, it cannot be cancelled and the item must instead be returned to us in accordance with the returns policy.

New Zealand GST, Customs Charges, Duties & Fees

As we are based in Australia and you are buying from an Australian company, we therefore charge you for your Order in Australian dollars. The actual price charged to New Zealand customers will be subject to: (i) New Zealand GST; and (ii) the exchange rate applied by the payment provider you have used. You can find out more information at https://www.classic.ird.govt.nz/campaigns/2018/gst-policy-update-nz-consumers.html. New Zealand GST is subject to change in accordance with changes to NZ law. Please note Orders shipped to NZ valued at more than NZ$1000 may incur duties, customs charges and fees (including GST on duty / freight) charged by the NZ Customs Service once the Order reaches its destination port. These amounts must be paid by you directly to the NZ Customs Service or its authorised service provider. Separate Orders placed on the same day may still be subject to the duties, customs charges and fees, as if they were the one order. You can calculate these expected duties, customs charges and fees using NZ Custom Service duty estimator. Note that the GST on the goods has already been collected at checkout. We are not responsible for and will not reimburse any of these duties, customs charges or fees. You should Contact your local NZ Customs office or you can find out more information at NZ Custom Service GST and Duty FAQs. Thresholds and rates are subject to change in accordance with changes to NZ law. Additionally, your financial services provider or payment provider may charge currency conversion and administration fees on purchases and any refunds we provide. The exchange rate used to determine the quantum of the refund (in NZ dollars) shall be the prevailing rate at the time the refund is made (not the original exchange rate).

Faulty Product Returns

7.1 We aim to provide you with products of the highest standard and quality. If you have received a product with a defect, please contact our Customer Service as soon as possible so we can guide you through the returns process and help resolve the problem as swiftly as possible. In order to assist the return process, you may be required to send us images of the damage, defect or fault for preliminary assessment. You may be asked to provide further information to support your claim to assist us with our assessment of the goods.

7.2 If the product is confirmed to have a defect, we will replace or repair the product (if repair is reasonably possible) or refund the price of the product to your original payment method, as appropriate. If the product is confirmed to have a major defect, you are entitled to elect whether you want us to replace or repair (if repair is reasonably possible) the product or refund the price of the product to your original payment method. If the product is found not to have a defect, deemed out of warranty, or you otherwise do not have a remedy for a failure to comply with the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law, we will contact you to determine whether you want us to dispose of the product or return the product to you at your expense.

7.3 It does not constitute a defect if in our reasonable opinion a product has become of unacceptable quality following the sale to you due to fair wear and tear, misuse, failure to use in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions, using it in an abnormal way or failure to take reasonable care.

7.4. Due to the nature of products in our gently worn range, some items may be sold with imperfections and existing wear and tear, such as wash fade, marks, textile imperfections, pull threads, etc. Any details of this nature will not be classified as a defect.

Change of mind Returns

8.1 In addition to your rights in relation to faulty products in clause 7, and subject to the restrictions set out in 8.2, you can return any product:

(a) as long as the return is initiated within 14 days from purchase (or longer promotional return period, if applicable);

(b) unworn and unused and in a saleable condition with the original tags still attached; (unless the item is part of the gently worn range, which is defined as items that are sold through THE LITTLE CAPSULE CO. in EUC-Play condition, in which case it cannot be returned for change of mind, though can be considered for our buy back program);

(c) in the original packaging, which must be in the original condition, including sealed boxes, branded dust bags, shoe boxes and authentication certificates if applicable (you don’t need the clear plastic packaging, except for products sealed for hygiene reasons - see below); and

(d) it has not been specifically excluded from the change of mind returns policy, such as ‘Final Sale’ items and items excluded for hygiene reasons. The exclusion will be noted on the relevant product page on our Site and / or at checkout, in-store signage.

8.2 Please note that products sealed for hygiene reasons (e.g. jewellery, watches, swimwear, hair accessories, earphones, beauty and grooming products) can only be returned under change of mind returns policy if the seal is intact excluding underwear and earrings (which cannot be returned, unless deemed faulty, or if you otherwise have a remedy under the Australian Consumer Law). Beauty products cannot be returned if they are opened and/ or used (unless faulty).

8.3 To ensure these returns are assessed and processed swiftly, please follow the instructions set out under ‘How do I return an item’.

8.4 Upon receiving and inspection of your return, we will contact you about next steps. Once determined the return is in compliance with clause 8.1, we will either:

If you have used store credit or gift cards to pay for part of the price, we will reinstate the original amount of store credit you have used; or

(b) exchange the product for another size, subject to availability. Please note that items can only be exchanged with items that are shipped from the same location i.e. only items shipped from THE LITTLE CAPSULE CO. Fulfilment Centre (Canberra) can be exchanged with other items from LITTLE CAPSULE CO. Fulfilment Centre (Canberra) location, and only items shipped from LITTLE CAPSULE CO. Fulfilment Centre (Brisbane) can be exchanged with other items from the same LITTLE CAPSULE CO. Fulfilment Centre (Brisbane).

8.5 We will not refund any Delivery Fees that you have paid at purchase to have the product shipped to you, or the cost of any packaging you provide to send the items back to us. If the return, in our reasonable opinion, is not in compliance with clause 8.1, we will contact you to ship the product back to you and you will be liable for the shipping costs both to and from us.

8.6 We offer a flexible change of mind returns policy to streamline your shopping experience. We monitor return rate frequency and value for fraud, abuse and general security purposes. In the event of elevated return frequency and values, we are entitled to close or block access to your Account or deny you from making future orders.

(ii) entirely by ‘cash’ - refunds offered as 110% store credit or ‘cash’ (at your election); or

(iii) 20% gift cards or store credits and 80% ‘cash’ - refunds offered as store credit for a minimum of 20% of the refund value (on an item basis), with the remaining 80% of the refund value offered as 110% store credit or ‘cash’ (at your election).

Economy Aprasials and Offers

14.1 The following terms and conditions apply to customers of The Little Capsule Co (TLCco) who submit children's clothing for appraisal and contribution to our economy program. By submitting items, you agree to the terms set out below:

(a)Item Assessment and Offer Process
TLCco will inspect and assess each item based on its condition, brand, season, and size. Items will be graded into the following categories:

Brand New with Tags (BNWT): Items that have never been worn and are in perfect condition, as they were when purchased from the original retailer. These items still have their original retail tags securely attached and show no signs of use, wear, or damage. They are suitable for gift-giving or resale as brand-new items.
Excellent Used Condition (EUC): Items that have been exceptionally gently worn, if at all, with no visible signs of wear or damage. There should be no marks, stains, pilling, or fading. These items appear nearly new and maintain their original shape, structure, and color integrity, showing minimal or no signs of use. EUC items are in pristine condition and are ideal for those looking for pre-owned clothing that is close to brand new.
Very Good Used Condition (VGUC): Items that have been gently worn and show very slight signs of wear. This includes light pilling (small fabric fuzz balls) in areas that are typically subject to friction (e.g., under the arms or at the hem), very light wash fade (slight loss of original color intensity), or barely noticeable marks that do not detract from the overall appearance. These items maintain good structural integrity, are free from holes or significant wear, and have many more wears left in them.
Good Used Condition (GUC): Items that have been pre-worn and show visible signs of wear. These signs may include moderate pilling, slight stretching of the fabric, wash fade (significant fading or loss of original color), and faint marks or stains. GUC items are still fully wearable but are no longer in pristine condition. The fabric may have lost some of its original texture or shape, but the items remain functional and appropriate for everyday wear.
Play Condition: Items that have been significantly worn and show clear, noticeable signs of wear. These items may have heavy pilling, large visible marks or stains, wash fade, significant fabric stretching, or even small holes or frayed edges. Play condition items are suitable for rough play or at-home use where appearance is not a concern. They may no longer be suitable for school or outings, but they can still be used for activities where wear and tear are expected.

14.2 Based on this grading, TLCco will make an offer for the items. This offer will be communicated to you via text message and may include one or both of the following options: cash or store credit.

14.3 Offers are made at the sole discretion of TLCco and will vary depending on the individual circumstances of each submission, including the item's condition, brand, seasonality, and market demand.
Credit offers are applicable to clause 9.3(a).

Right to Refuse Items
TLCco reserves the right to refuse any or all items submitted for appraisal at its discretion and without providing a reason. Refused items will be available for collection within 14 days from the date of refusal notification. Items not collected within this time frame will be donated to our charity partners.
Limitation of Liability
While TLCco takes reasonable care to ensure the safekeeping of all items during the appraisal process, we are not liable for any loss, theft, or damage to the items while in our possession, to the extent permitted by Australian Consumer Law. This limitation does not affect any statutory rights you may have under the ACL.
Acceptance of Offer and Cooling-Off Period
Upon receiving our offer, you may accept or reject the offer via the communication method provided (e.g., text message). Once you have accepted an offer, you will have a 24-hour cooling-off period during which you can reverse your decision. After this 24-hour period, your decision is final, and the items cannot be recalled or withdrawn from the agreed offer. This includes any items that have been opted for donation.
Uncollected Items
